240. Please build an army
When everyone calmed down, Jiang Xiong suddenly said, "Lord Jingwen, we hope to be able to form an army so that we can take revenge in the future as a crusade against the Turks!" The Turks have brought us to such an end, and of course we have to take revenge. So, I mention, let's form an army separately, so that we can go for revenge in the future! ”
"That's right!" "That's a good idea, we have to organize and crusade against the Turks when the time comes." "We want revenge, revenge!" "Take revenge, you must not let go of those Turks!" ……
The people shouted, and it was clear that they had a deep hatred for the Turks. And now when they heard that someone wanted to organize them into an army, they were not war-weary, but they were all excited. These people have blood debts with the Turks. They were originally all people at the border, and every time the Turks invaded, didn't they kill some villagers? In ancient times, people in the same place were inevitably related to each other, so killing the villagers was killing their relatives. In addition, they were forced to go to the Turks to enslave the Turks, so they instead formed a deep hatred. This kind of deep hatred can no longer be washed away by water, only blood can be washed away.
Jingwen was also shocked when he heard this idea. Because they all have hatred with the Turks, they are a mourning army, and they are also a force that fights with blood feuds, and the combat effectiveness should be very strong. And this method must be good!
However, it is not said that the army can be formed just after it is formed, and the formation of an army without authorization is tantamount to rebellion. Therefore, although these people were very enthusiastic, Jingwen couldn't agree to them.
"Listen, everyone, the matter of forming an army is not something we can decide on our own, and it must be played to the imperial court. Let the imperial court approve it. So, we can talk about it separately when the time comes! Jingwen said.
Those people left a little disappointed, and Jingwen immediately returned to Chang'an City, and it was already daylight the next day. Jingwen didn't rest at all, and immediately ran into the palace, and then asked to see Li Shimin, and told Li Shimin that the people of Pingyu County here were willing to form an army.
After Li Shimin heard this, he seemed to attach some importance to it, and asked several important ministers to discuss.
"Your Majesty, the military heart is available! They are for the Turks. There is a bitter hatred, and it is definitely a batch of high-quality forces. The ancients said that the mourning soldiers will win, and they are all a group of mourning soldiers, so for the Turks, the fighting strength is overwhelming. If it were soldiers from other places, I am afraid that they would not have a bitter hatred for the Turks, and they would not be so desperate. But they have a bitter hatred with the Turks, so desperate is certain. That's a good idea! Fang Xuanling first analyzed the psychology of the characters and thought that this choice was okay.
And then, an old general with a long beard said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these people have returned from the Turks. I am already familiar with the terrain and the water and soil, so there will be no situation when the time comes. Although they were taken captive, they were also familiar with the water and soil. Unlike other soldiers, who are not accustomed to the soil and water, they must first reduce their combat effectiveness by 30% when they go out to fight. And. They are familiar with the terrain and the methods of warfare of the Turks, so they are a rare group of professionals. In addition, many of them have been forced to herd horses, familiar with war horses, and with a little training, they are a group of excellent cavalry, which can save at least a year or two of the process of getting familiar with war horses. ”
The words of this old general are obvious, that is, these people are a group of high-quality soldiers from military science. Not only in terms of water and soil adaptation, but also terrain familiarity, and even knowing oneself and the enemy, the training cost is a very good soldier. I'm afraid, there are no better soldiers than them. Of course, this is only for the Turks, and if you deal with other enemies, I am afraid that it may not be able to have such a powerful effect.
When Li Shimin heard these words, he couldn't help but nod secretly, because in all respects, these are a group of high-quality soldiers. These Han Chinese were simply born to conquer the Turks, and if the Turks knew that they had trained all these people as soldiers, and then attacked them in the future, I am afraid that the Turks would vomit blood.
"The pharmacist is right, since these people are so elite, then we might as well draw some people to form an army. However, should they be broken up into different units, or should they be formed separately? Li Shimin asked.
The old general said, "It's better to be in an army alone." These people are familiar with each other, and their various advantages are obvious, of course, they must be used together. Only by pooling your strength and becoming a fist can you kill others. If the forces are scattered, it will not kill the enemy at all, but will give people a break. Therefore, it is better to form them into a separate army, so that their combat effectiveness can be raised to the maximum. ”
"But how many people can be drawn from this to join the army?" Li Shimin asked.
Jingwen immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the formation of an army was proposed by those people, and once the emperor has an order, they must be full of responders." There are more than 100,000 of these people in total, and more than ninety percent of them are men, all of whom are in the prime of life, because only in the prime of life can they survive in the hands of the Turks. Even if half of it were taken, there would be 50,000 people. And since they have this heart, we might as well take out some more and leave half of the people to continue building the city. What's more, they also need to prove themselves, to prove that they are not obedient people of the Turks, not rebellious. Please give them this chance to prove themselves! ”
"Well, since they have the heart, then I can't be this wicked person. Then draw out 50,000 men and form a new army. As for the name of this new army, it will be called the Snow Shame Army, and it is going to take revenge on the Turks. In a few days, we will select some good people to lead the training, so that the local government, that is, Liu Renliang, will be ready to prepare for the formation of the Snow Shame Army. Li Shimin said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jingwen said.
In this way, an army of shame was formed, and no one knew what kind of changes this army would bring to the world. And this shameful army has also become an important arm for Jingwen in the future. In the future, regardless of the changes in the Tang Dynasty, the Snow Shame Army and the officers from the Snow Shame Army all stood on Jingwen's side and helped Jingwen survive the ups and downs of the future political situation. And this army has also become the first army of the Tang Dynasty, almost with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and has gone to glory. (To be continued......)
